I don’t want to make it obvious because the bots are too smart. So, you guys will have to click through all the links. I’ll make it obvious after they have stolen the chapter. So, you can wait or read the chapter now if you have the patience. The bots are too smart. For my fake chapter, I even made a fake title.

Update: This method failed. The bots are too smart. They figured out which one was real. I am actually better off linking one post and then linking the real chapter after. Both novelonlinefree and novelplanet stole my actual chapter 220 despite making the url completely unrelated to the chapter itself (and no title).

In the future, I’ll just link one post and post the chapter a few hours later.

Maybe what you could try doing is rather than trying to fool the bots, insert something in the body of the chapter, like half-way in a sentence, that tells readers where the chapter really comes from and reading it anywhere else means that it’s been stolen. And to boycott those bastard sites that only get by through stealing the hard work of honest translators.

I’ve tried that before but the readers don’t give a shit. I’ve seen people commenting on novelplanet and said they will read on my site but they still continue reading on the aggregator site because it’s convenient for them. So I have to make the bots steal the wrong chapter so they have no choice but come to my site.

Some readers even argued with me and said it didn’t make sense for them to read on my site because everything was already on that site.
